This morning I punched off the alarm at 6:34, showered, and dressed in a gray pencil skirt, crisp white button-up, and black heels, and threw a legal pad and current reading into my red bag. Driving to work, I sipped coffee and listened to NPR. And then I got a little sad that it wasn't the first day of school, and that I wasn't headed off to teach class.
But then I arrived at work, and saw my giant gleaming white Mac monitor, and the coffee machine that spits out your choice of regular French roast, decaf, hot chocolate, or mocha something, and then the HR lady said that my business cards and personalized coffee mug would arrive by the end of the week. And I felt better. I mean, I'd prefer one of these, of course, but it's a good place to start.
